\Drive Right In To August ~ When I think of hot
August nights I think of Drive-In Movies. Three of my
favorite things cars, movies, and summer made a great
combination.
When I was little I would go to the Drive-In in pajamas,
and fall asleep right after the Tom & Jerry cartoon. When I was a teenager
the drive-in was a favorite Saturday night hangout. My friend, “Jake” in his
Purple “57” Chevy, and me, in my White “63” Chevy Impala; with three on
the column! (Ask if you don’t know what that is). We would arrive at the
drive-ins with our cars full of friends, and even sneak several extra friends
stored in the trunk!
August 21st commemorates the anniversary of Hawaii Statehood.
Where were you on August 21st, 1959? Maybe you went to the Drive in
Movie! Maui had a fairly new drive‐in theater that had opened on May 6,
1955. Maui’s first drive‐in theater was developed by Maui Amusement
Company, owned by M.G. Paschoal and H.B. Weller and located on
Kaahumanu Avenue behind the Maui Vocational School. The ten‐ acre
theater featured a 60‐foot high tower and showcased the new, wide‐screen
Cinemascope technology, and could accommodate up to 440 automobiles.
The first two Cinemascope movies produced were "The Robe" and "How to
Marry a Millionaire."
Sadly, the Kahului Drive‐In closed on December 15, 1967. The closing was
not the result of poor attendance, but rather the prime location was acquired
by the State of Hawaii for incorporation into the new Maui Community
College campus. With the closing of the drive‐in, Maui Amusement’s theater
holdings dwindled from a high of fourteen at the drive‐in’s inception to only
one indoor theater operation, the Iao.
Too bad they closed the drive in, as it is so close
to where we are now that we probably could
watch the movies from the 4th floor picture
window.
With Aloha,
Aloha from our General Manager

Flip-Flops: Your Arch Enemy?
People of all ages wear flip-flops
during the summer, but this type of
footwear can cause pain and injury
when worn for long periods of time,
while walking on concrete or when
playing sports, experts warn.
That's because flip-flops offer limited arch support
and coverage for the feet, orthopedic doctors at the
Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City
said in a medical school news release.
The doctors outlined some potential health concerns
associated with these casual, summer shoes.
People change how they walk when wearing flip-
flops, gripping with their toes in order to keep the
shoes in place. This can lead to stress in certain
muscles and strain in toes, ankles, legs, hips and the
back.
Because the flat and flimsy shoe bed in flip-flops
does not provide adequate foot support for all-day
wear, people may be at risk for arch pain, plantar
fasciitis and nerve problems.
The lack of shock absorption in flip-flops also can
lead to pain in the feet, legs, hips and back. Other
problems associated with flip-flops include broken
toes and toe nails, cuts and germs, the Mount Sinai
experts said.
Sun damage is another potential issue with flip-flops
and other sandals. Anyone wearing this type of
footwear should apply sunscreen to their feet in
order to reduce their risk for skin cancer.

Roselani Place 15th Anniversary
Join us for great celebration
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Roselani Place and Ola Na Mele Productions invite you to a Picnic for Poki at 11:00 AM at the Historic
Kaahumanu Church in Wailuku Town, 103 South High Street on Thursday, August 17, 2017. Our featured guest
with live Hawaiian entertainment will be the Uncle Richard Ho’opi’i.
Uncle Richard Ho'opi'i is one of Hawai'i's most beloved singers. Best known as one half of the popular Maui duo,
The Ho'opi'i Brothers, he has practiced the traditional Hawaiian art of leo ki'eki'e (falsetto) for most of his life. He
and his brother, Solomon (his life-long singing partner) were recipients in 1997 of the prestigious National
Endowment of the Arts Folk Heritage Fellowship, America's highest honor for
traditional artists.
Roselani Place, Maui's premier assisted living community, will have fresh baked
cookies, coffee, and water. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or mat and their
lunch and most importantly, bring a friend.
Picnic for Poki is held every third Thursday on the month to continue bringing the
spirit of aloha and Hawaiian music to the Maui community in honor of the late
Allen "Braddah Poki" Pokipala. Braddah Poki was dedicated to sharing Hawaiian
music and culture throughout various venues in Hawaii.
